Impossible Ironman sometimes you need to do the alien base quicker because beating that mission does global panic reduction so it's really good to have before you lose lots of countries.

Yeah Ziggs bot is hilariously strong, dunno about Gragas so much but between Barrels and Bombs they must have zoned out enemy pretty easily.

So a game like Temple Run, really really really old, you are running (towards a temple?) and you have to dodge various obstacles like arrows being shot at you. Also really old game.

brought a tear to my eye, very emotional. Although making viewers crank their necks 90 degrees isn't nice

It's not 50hp though, it's a once per lifetime 50hp shield, that is one auto-attack you eat and it won't regenerate unlike actual health. For junglers you can get the same result by letting whoever helps you tank one hit. Your right that it is one mastery point but it's a mastery point at the far end of the defensive tree and there are a lot of other much better choices there (even at lvl 1).

A little bit more anecdotal but honestly every ranked game I have played in pre-season when someone has runic shield they tend to do quite badly. It's nice to know the reason why some people take it but I doubt I will ever be using it in it's current incarnation even if building for lvl 1 fights.

I dunno, I think literally any other mastery has something better to offer even for lvl 1 fights. If your building deep in the defensive tree you have the 2nd wind mastery or the armour based on number of enemy champs, if you have 0/30/0 then you can change it to 0/29/1 and put that point in movement speed or quicker recall in utility. I would value that much more then a 50hp shield which I only get back if I die.

So I have been having an easy time going Eve this patch. It's pretty hard to try and defend against me and even when I am spotted coming in from a gank because of the ward I just get to kill the ward and come again a minute later.

I think they need to buff vision wards, I would say give them 10 hitpoints which they can regenerate over 30 seconds (0.3 hp per second) or give them 30 hitpoints, that way they are actually objectives which can be placed and challenged as well as defended. 7 hitpoints is pretty hard to defend when it can just be poked down from range. Making them go invisible again would just force supports to go vision ward wars again, supports are actually fun to play in this patch but stealth champs are pretty strong at the moment.
